OTTAWA — The office of Canada's auditor general confirms it fired two employees after discovering they were making extra money from federal contracts on the side.
Karen Hogan's office says a third person is being investigated after they failed to disclose such information to their managers.The office initiated internal investigations of the workers in June of last year and concluded one case in September and the other in December. Those two cases were referred to the RCMP in January, and the national police service advised the auditor general's office to bring them to Ottawa police the following month.
Hogan's office says the two cases are completely separate and neither individual was an auditor or a manager.
